Every D-day forum has had one of these threads as some point or another, I thought it was about time for PPMs turn So usual rules apply, post pic of tank/plane/ship (within D-days time scope) & whoever guesses it right first gets to post the next one etc, etc.

When the USS Macon was christened on March 11, 1933, she was the most sophisticated of the Navy’s lighter-than-air (LTA) fleet. The Macon exhibited the highest expression of naval LTA technology during her short career. At 785 feet in length, the airship’s size captured American fascination during flyovers of U.S. communities as chronicled in numerous advertisements, articles, and newsreels. The dramatic loss of the Macon and her sister ship, the Akron, within two years of each other contributed to the cancellation of the Navy’s rigid airship program. The archeological remains of the USS Macon lie off California’s Big Sur coast in NOAA’s Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. The site also contains the remains of four of the airship’s squadron of small Curtiss F9C Sparrowhawk scout aircraft which the Macon carried in an internal hangar bay.

Mind you, I live really close to there. Read about it in my middle school history class, several years ago. :]QUICK_EDIT

Ah your good, its the Payen 22. After the Germans invaded France they captured lots of prototype aircraft & then took them back to Germany for testing, that's why it has Luftwaffe markings._________________QUICK_EDIT
